Notes in parentheses can be omitted. Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root. A perfect fth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fth which can be used with both major and minor chords. The chord ngerings listed are all in root position, but other inversions can be used with the following exceptions: m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), 1+2+5. Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not recognized if the notes shown in parentheses are omitted. The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh). Two-note ngerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

Selecting and Playing Songs
The PSR-290 features a total of 105 songs. These include 100 songs that showcase the rich and dynamic sounds of the instrument, and 99 of these songs can be used with the educational Lesson feature (page 61), a powerful tool that makes learning songs fun and easy. A special Demo song has also been included, and can be played automatically by pressing the [DEMO] button. Moreover, there are ve special User songs to which you can record your own performance. The User songs are empty and cannot be played until something has been recorded to them. (For instructions on recording your own songs, see page 56.) You can also transfer song data from your computer to the PSR-290 for playback. For details, see page 71. G Song Playback Display

Lesson 3 Minus One

This lesson step lets you practice one part of the song in rhythm at the proper tempo. The PSR-290 plays back the song accompaniment with one part muted (either the left part or the right) letting you play and master the missing part yourself. The notes you are to play are shown continuously in the display as the song plays back.
Select one of the Lesson songs. Select Lesson 3.
Press the [L] or [R] button (repeatedly, if necessary) until Lesson 3 is indicated.
Play the appropriate part with the song.
After the lead-in, the song starts automatically, and the appropriate notes appear in the display. In Lesson 3, listen carefully to the un-muted part, and play the muted part yourself.

Lesson 4 Both Hands

Lesson 4 is a Minus One practice essentially the same as Lesson 3, except that both the left- and right-hand parts are muted letting you play and master both hands at the same time. Go on to this lesson step after youve mastered each hands part in the previous three lesson steps. Practice both hands in time with the rhythm along with the notation in the display.
Select one of the Lesson songs. Select Lesson 4.
Press the [L] and [R] buttons simultaneously, so that Lesson 4 is indicated.
Play both the left- and right-hand parts with the song.
After the lead-in, the song starts automatically, and the appropriate notes appear in the display. In Lesson 4, both parts (left and right) are muted, letting you play the entire song by yourself.
The Lesson feature has a built-in evaluation function that monitors your practicing of the Lesson songs, and just like a real teacher, it tells you how well you did each exercise. Four grades are assigned, depending on your performance: OK, Good, Very Good, and Excellent. The evaluation function can be set to on/off in the Function mode (page 76).
Grade is automatically set to on as the default setting.

MIDI Functions

The PSR-290 is MIDI-compatible, featuring MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals and providing a variety of MIDI-related controls. By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how you can use MIDI on your PSR-290.

What Is MIDI?

No doubt you have heard the terms acoustic instrument and digital instrument. In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Lets consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?

Acoustic guitar note production Digital instrument note production

Sampling Note

Tone Generator (Electronic circuit)

Playing the keyboard

Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound.
Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production? For example, lets say you play a C quarter note using the grand piano sound on the PSR-290 keyboard. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as with what voice, with which key, about how strong, when was it pressed, and when was it released. Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note.
G Example of Keyboard Information
Voice number (with what voice) Note number (with which key) Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released) Velocity (about how strong) 01 (grand piano) 60 (C3) Timing expressed numerically (quarter note) 20 (strong)

GM System Level 1

GM System Level 1 is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The GM mark is afxed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level 1. The PSR-290 supports GM System Level 1.
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages. The PSR-290 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data. The PSR-290 can be controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices specied for the various parts. MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages. Below is an explanation of the various types of MIDI messages which the PSR-290 can receive/transmit. G Channel Messages The PSR-290 is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 channels. This is usually expressed as it can play 16 instruments at the same time. Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.

G Loaded Song Initializaion You can erase only the loaded song data by turning on the power while holding the highest (rightmost) black key on the keyboard.

Voice List

I Maximum Polyphony
The PSR-290 has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means that it can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once, regardless of what functions are used. Auto Accompaniment uses a number of the available notes, so when Auto Accompaniment is used the total number of available notes for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the Split Voice and Song functions.
The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the PSR-290 via MIDI from an external device. Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.
